[QUOTE="pablo, post: 1026115, member: 21067"] I had one of these built for my son's 12th year hunting season. We spent a lot of time trying to develop a load for it using 4350 and bullets from 120 to 140 grains with pretty much no luck. I was getting frustrated with the rifle and thought we had a scope problem which was disproved. I stuck it in the safe for a few months and one night stumbled across an article in 6mmBR.com about a man named Terry Cross. He's won many tactical championships with the 260 AI and had some pretty specific suggestions about loads that all of them liked. He thinks H4831 is the correct powder for the round. We started over and using H4831 and 130 Berger's this rifle now routinely shoots under half MOA. My son has killed three Antelope with it one pretty close but the other two were at 470 and the other at 575yds. He was fourteen when he made the longer shot. Last year I took a couple of city boys that work with my wife to my range so they could shoot their handguns and ar's. When we were driving onto the range I realized we were alone so I stopped and got out my son's 260AI and explained where they needed to hold to shoot the three gongs 500, 600, and 700. They went 5 for 6 and were surprised and stoked. The guy with one miss is still trying to live it down. LOL I really like the cartridge, my son's moved on to a 264 Win Mag. [/QUOTE]
